CONCORD, N.H. – Without a winner in Friday night’s drawing, the New Hampshire Lottery is expecting the Mega Millions jackpot to climb to $475 million for tomorrow night’s drawing. The New Hampshire Lottery projects the Mega Millions one-time cash payout to increase to $307 million. (Estimated jackpot amounts are determined before taxes are withheld.)
“At $475 million, this is the seventh-largest Mega Millions jackpot on record, and the New Hampshire Lottery is hoping a lucky New Hampshire player gets to take home this tremendous prize,” said Charlie McIntyre, executive director, New Hampshire Lottery. “New Hampshire has never had a Mega Millions jackpot winner. Tuesday could be our lucky night!”
The Mega Millions drawing results from Friday, May 31, were: 7-8-26-65-67 MB-4 with a Megaplier of 3.
The largest Mega Millions jackpot in history was a $1.537 billion jackpot in October 2018—the second-largest overall lottery jackpot on record. This current Mega Millions jackpot has been growing since March 12, when a $50 million winning ticket was sold in Missouri.
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 PM and tickets are on sale until 9:50 PM tomorrow.
Tickets are on sale at more than 1,400 retailers statewide, as well as through iLottery. For more information and to play, visit www.nhlottery.com.
